An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.
We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. openai.com/index/ten-advance…

Happy Freedom Day, Chun. A fitting day to celebrate 🇲🇹
In 2015, I purchased this Naklua condo in North Pattaya, for 2900 BTC. It was the first home I had ever owned. Although I only lived here for about two years before moving on to Bangkok and Seoul, and later to Europe, my time in Pattaya gave me my first real experience of living abroad and the courage to explore much farther parts of the world.
When I first moved here, I had never set foot in a major developed country. During my first two years in Pattaya, I obtained a visa from the U.S. embassy in Thailand and received a second passport from Saint Kitts and Nevis. It was also here that I began to reshape my life and shift my focus away from the country where I was born. While many Chinese miners were still celebrating the early crypto boom before the eventual crackdown, I had already tasted my first real sense of freedom thanks to Pattaya.
It was here that I personally built and launched our Zcash mining pool. I also witnessed the transition from Rama IX to Rama X, and watched the FamilyMart downstairs magically transform into a Tops Daily almost overnight.
Yesterday, I sold this condo for 7 BTC.
Life must go on, and I will miss Pattaya.
Bon voyage.

NASA is advancing nuclear power and propulsion in space to accomplish President Trump’s national space objectives.
With SR-1 Freedom, launching in 2028, we will demonstrate nuclear electric propulsion and deliver SkyFall helicopters to Mars.
In collaboration with @Energy, these capabilities are key to future missions to Mars and beyond.
A new chapter of deep space exploration begins. 🚀
Suffering matters because we experience it
Kindness matters because it changes real lives
Knowledge matters because ignorance has consequences

BTC 🆙 from here
I've long suspected Bitcoin is a giant Ponzi scheme and now I'm hearing tales of woe that make me fear I'm right.

Bitcoin has no issuer and its value is purely determined by the free market. The code is totally public and opt-in. Nobody can force you to run any particular version.

.@nikitabier you should add a “Listen” (text-to-speech) feature for X articles.
I’m sure a lot of people (myself included), would like to listen to these longer articles, instead of just reading.
Even if it’s for premium users only.
Humanity needs to force a Global Peace Agreement. War isn’t the only form of resolution.
Spending and energy is then redirected to facilitate basic human rights internationally (home, health, access to information), and the infrastructure in which to support.
The future is: AI, robotics and automation, clean energy, biotech and health, AI & compute infrastructure, autonomous transportation, education and learning systems, creative and experience industries, advanced agriculture and food technology
I look up at an almost full moon and feel amazed, with an aspect of gratitude that in my lifetime, it’s likely humans will inhabit it for the first time in history 🌒

Some of our best hires were totally unqualified on paper.
They always had the same qualities: entrepreneurial, high agency, smart, mission aligned, and they got shit done.
If you’re hiring, especially in early stages, seek out & bet on these people. Don’t over-index on resumes.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.
AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.
We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.
We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.
We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.
